China’s Tibetan Plateau, also known as the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, is one of the most remote and extreme places on Earth. Sometimes referred to as 'The Third Pole', it is the largest, highest and youngest plateau in the world. The average altitude is between 3500 and 5000 metres above sea level, and it is surrounded by some of the world's highest mountains and mountain chains, including the Himalayas. The Tibetan Plateau is home to many species of mammals that are unique to the region, including the Tibetan Antelope, Tibetan Gazelle, Kiang (a high-mountain wild ass species), the almost extinct Przewalski's Gazelle and the rare Wild Yak. The Tibetan Wolf is also a relatively common species, with the region boasting a healthy prey population of Blue Sheep and White-lipped Deer. The Tibetan Plateau also hosts two of the world’s largest nature reserves, Hoh Xil, also known as Kekexili (45,000sq.km.) and Changtang (334,000sq.km.).
